Preventive Medicine between Obligation and Aspiration is a study of
ethical questions regarding mass screening, vaccination, and health
policy programmes. These interventions aim to enhance public health
but may also constrain personal autonomy and cause harm, and
influence our moral views. So far, these issues have hardly been
subject to systematic ethical analysis. This study aims to fill
this gap by providing an overview of moral problems in preventive
medicine and by explicating norms for good practice. Throughout the
book it is argued that some moral concerns about prevention -
namely concerns about medicalization - cannot be adequately grasped
in terms of strict and binding moral norms. Various moral concepts
and types of norms beyond obligation' are explored and developed in
order to give practical meaning to these rather vague concerns. In
this way the book contributes to applied ethics as well as to
ethical theory. It is of interest to professionals in public health
and preventive medicine and to scholars in applied ethics and moral
philosophy.
